Urban Development. The analysis for the OPRD 2014-2020 identifies processes of agglomeration disintegration in the country, where typical agglomeration formations are only the agglomerations of Sofia, Varna, Burgas and Plovdiv. Agglomeration disintegration processes affect, to varying degrees, mainly mid-sized urban district centres. Agglomeration processes are replaced by the formation of a network of urban centres, where the cities are the engines of the economy and the main service centres in the country. At national level, the capital of Sofia has the leading socio-economic functions and only Varna can be recognized as the single counter-balance. At regional level, different patterns of urban development are established - polycentric and monocentric models with distinct urban centre. For Bulgaria differences between the regions in the country are not that characteristic as interregional differences in other regions in the EU. There is a tendency to manifest monocentrism regarding the capital city of Sofia and the largest cities in the country. Against this trend, several models of polycentric development have been observed, demonstrating the balancing effect of the secondary supporting centres and they can be replicated in order to achieve sustainable and balanced growth in the Bulgarian regions. This effect is observed with respect to the recent development of Varna as a counter balance of Sofia. Following at regional level at the level 2, after this model is being developed the Severozapaden region (Vratsa - Pleven) and Yugoiztochen region (Burgas - Stara Zagora). Examples at district level are Kyustendil - Dupnitsa, Lovech – Troyan, Stara Zagora - Kazanlak, Gabrovo - Sevlievo and others. 147 Therefore, it is necessary to support urban centres of national and regional importance in order to develop alternative centres of growth and development towards moderate polycentrism. Policy is formulated in accordance with the adopted National Spatial Development Concept for 2013-2025, which outlines a "moderate polycentric" model for spatial development and identifies cities to be supported for sustainable urban development under OPRD 2014-2020. The main objective is to stimulate the urban centres as key drivers of growth and achieve a model of polycentric development at national and regional level. Important in the selection of cities is the presence of a town counter-balancing the district centre in order to develop a polycentric model at lower territorial level. The cities a...

Urban Development. During the implementation period of NDP2, the Namibian Government has committed itself, mainly through the Ministry of Regional and Local Government and Housing (MRLGH), “to facilitate the establishment of an effective Regional and Local Government system, which brings Government closer to the people and which is capable of delivering services to the satisfaction of all communities”. The main development objectives for NDP2 include: • completion of the creation of an enabling, regulatory and legal environment in which all levels of Government can function; • proclamation of towns and villages and the declaration of additional settlement areas in response to the need to reduce poverty and curb migration to major urban areas, to develop growth points for business development, and to create land ownership options that will facilitate access to finance; • improvement of the delivery capacity of Regional, Local and Traditional Authorities and the creation of a greater client commitment; and • enhancing citizen involvement and participation in Local Economic Development (LED). For the above-mentioned objectives to be met, the Namibian Government will pursue clearly defined strategies, some of which are quoted below: • undertaking a study to identify bottlenecks, obstacles and proposing solutions for a less complicated and more speedy process in surveying land with standards that are lower than in the Khomas region; • setting up standards (guide-lines) for land-use planning and economic development planning; • compiling a strategic plan for the development of each region based on completed and revised Regional Development Plans (RDP) and developing an action plan for each region to complement the NDP2 and RDPs; and • devising a local finance policy to achieve a certain degree of self-sufficiency, redirecting development from Windhoek through a town development policy, and finalizing town-planning legislation, in order to reduce rural-urban migration.
